"In 1975, young engineer Steve Wozniak had an idea: What if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, a widely affordable machine that anyone could figure out how to use." "Wozniak teamed up with another young friend, Steve Jobs, and Apple Computer was born. The Apple I and Apple II computers were the first to use a modern paradigm - a keyboard to enter text and data and a video screen to view it.
